Thank you for submitting your review.

Approximately 10 plump bulbs of fresh CA garlic measuring about 16" from bottom to very top . An attractive way to store fresh garlic for all of your cooking needs, simply break garlic heads off from top to bottom as needed. Will last several years for decorative use.

Please note that fresh garlic cannot be gift wrapped due to its perishable nature and gift wrapping will cause it to decay.

The bride asked for a garlic press. She also wanted a Dutch oven. Both gifts call for garlic. The garlic braid is a beauty and looks perfect as a bow for the wedding package.

Small Garlic Braid

It has been very difficult to find REAL garlic in FL. So much of it is coming from a very unwholesome source. Luckily I was able to get one of the last small garlic braids from The Garlic Festival. It came wrapped with such care and arrived in beautiful condition. The bulbs are fresh and tight and the garlic is bursting with flavor and juice. Will get through this one very quickly so I hope the new crop will be ready soon!

Ms

My friend and I originally found you by attending a local craft fair and then reordering from your website. I have ordered garlic from you in the past and am always happy to get the really fresh garlic from your company. I could smell it when I opened the package. I am looking forward to using this in many recipes!

Q:How should the garlic braid be stored? I've never purchased one before. Thank you!

Asked by: Jeanne Eastman
- 11/21/2013

A:Fresh garlic, including braids should always be stored in a cool, dry place. The optimal place is a cool pantry or root cellar, When using braids, you should break the bulbs off from the top to avoid the braid unraveling. If the braid is left out, in full sun or heat, it will dry out ( it will go through a very stinky phase though) and make a nice kitchen decoration for many years.

For cooking purposes, California garlic (the variety used to make braids), lasts about 9 months from the July/August harvest. Because of this, it is difficult to guarantee the freshness of our fresh garlic products between January and July each year. Therefore, we will not ship fresh garlic between February 1 and July 15, or until the new harvest. In addition, we will be unable to issue refunds on these products regardless of when they were purchased.

Shelf Life

One of the most common questions we receive concerns the shelf life of our products; with a few people (luckily, very few) thinking that shelf life and half-life* are synonymous. The answer for each category is different. Most spice companies (whose names we don't mention) advise replacing herbs and spices every few months as they tend to lose potency and freshness. In general, that's probably a good practice. Herbs & spices, unlike wine, do not improve with age. However, we have found that Garli Garni, stored properly, can easily last up to a year. What is properly, you ask? Store Garli Garni and all other seasonings in a cool, dry, dark place. If you have a small shaker, refill it from your big one."Wet" products, such as salsas, mustards, and dressings should be similarly stored until opened and then should always be refrigerated. These should be used within a couple of months but use your common sense. If it looks or smells like a science project, throw it out!Remember, food products began life as living plants or other organic substances and therefore are not candidates for life everlasting. Most of our users don't want us to use so many preservatives that our products outlive them!To enjoy the freshest, tastiest products, buy only what you can reasonably use in a few months. Never eat products that are off color, smell funny, or are in bulging or open containers. Store all products safely. No product should be stored where it is hot or in direct sunlight.*half-life: the time required for half the atoms of a radioactive substance to become disintegrated; usually thousands of years.
